What have you recently finished?
One thing I love in books is when I discover the reason for it's title. I was completely satisfied by the premise behind this title!!! This
is the quick review I wrote on Goodreads.
“The short story is a genre, which I have grown
to like, almost love. This collection is most often hilarious, extremely
refreshing and clever in an everyday basic kind of way. It's a little hard to
explain, but to make it easier I will say I was thoroughly entertained from
beginning to end. Each story was thought provoking in some way, even those that
were three lines long, which there were a number of those. My only criticism is
that some of the stories felt, to me, a little too tight. I wanted several to
NOT be tied up so quickly and neatly. I think you'll know what I mean if you
read it, and you should if you like standup comedy. It feels like that. Well,
it should feel that way because it is written by one. Novak is also a writer,
director, executive producer and actor on The Office (and I didn't even realize
who he was when I watched the movie Saving Mr. Banks last week. Surprise!).
Some favorite stories are...I just went back to
the Table of Contents. There are far too many to name individually (although I
loved Missed Connection and Missed
Connections), but I will say that even the
Acknowledgements at the very end of the book were clever and worth reading. I
guess I'm not giving this book five stars because of the small criticism I
mentioned above. Maybe I should go back and change that because I'm definitely
experience the post book "glow"!!!”
